commit 0706f74f719e6e72c3a862ab2990796578fa73cc upstream.
Since commit 805b2e1d427a ("kbuild: include Makefile.compiler only when
compiler is needed"), package builds for the loongson2f platform fail.
$ make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips64-linux- lemote2f_defconfig bindeb-pkg
[ snip ]
sh ./scripts/package/builddeb
arch/mips/loongson2ef//Platform:36: *** only binutils >= 2.20.2 have needed option -mfix-loongson2f-nop. Stop.
cp: cannot stat '': No such file or directory
make[5]: *** [scripts/Makefile.package:87: intdeb-pkg] Error 1
make[4]: *** [Makefile:1558: intdeb-pkg] Error 2
make[3]: *** [debian/rules:13: binary-arch] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.package:83: bindeb-pkg] Error 2
make[1]: *** [Makefile:1558: bindeb-pkg] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:350: __build_one_by_one] Error 2
The reason is because "make image_name" fails.
$ make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips64-linux- image_name
arch/mips/loongson2ef//Platform:36: *** only binutils >= 2.20.2 have needed option -mfix-loongson2f-nop. Stop.
In general, adding $(error ...) in the parse stage is troublesome,
and it is pointless to check toolchains even if we are not building
anything. Do not include Kbuild.platform in such cases.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
